Pictures of cracked head

Nipped over to HRD today to drop the block off with them, thankfully my replacement pistons were given a clean bill of health, and then from there onto Ivor Searle.

I picked up the new cylinderhead and starter ring, as well as a set of bolts to hold my engine on the engine stand.

Here are a couple of pictures of my cracked head - apparently a crack in this place is fairly rare. Lucky me!

The block should be ready within a week and although I've left the crank and camshaft in the engine, they're going to be removed and I'll get just the block back with the rest of the kit in a box, ready for reassembly.

While it's there, the block and associated parts are all going through the parts washer, which is something I don't have the ability to do.
